Spider-Man: Brand New Day has created box-office history in India, overtaking Avatar: The Way of Water to become the highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country.
The Marvel-Sony superhero film has crossed the ₹400 crore net mark in India, becoming the first Hollywood release to achieve the milestone. According to current box-office estimates, the film had collected around ₹415.6 crore net in India by Monday morning.
Spider-Man Surpasses Avatar
The film has now moved ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water, which had previously held the record for the highest-grossing Hollywood release in India.
The achievement is particularly significant because Hollywood films face strong competition from India’s regional film industries, yet the latest Spider-Man instalment has maintained exceptional audience interest across the country.
First Hollywood Film to Cross ₹400 Crore Net
Brand New Day has also become the first Hollywood film to cross ₹400 crore net in India.
Its rapid box-office run has placed it ahead of earlier Hollywood blockbusters such as Avengers: Endgame and Avatar: The Way of Water.
Strong Performance in Second Weekend
The film continued to attract audiences during its second weekend, helping it maintain its momentum after a powerful opening.
Its performance has demonstrated the strength of the Spider-Man franchise in the Indian market, with audiences turning out across major metropolitan centres as well as other markets.
Tom Holland Leads the Film
The movie features Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, continuing his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The cast also includes Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo and other prominent actors.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
Released Across Multiple Indian Languages
The movie was released in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, helping it reach audiences across different regions.
The wide-language release has contributed to the film’s strong nationwide presence.
Global Success Adds to the Momentum
The Indian achievement is part of a much larger global box-office run.
The film has reportedly crossed $1.6 billion worldwide, adding to its status as one of the year’s biggest international releases.
A Major Milestone for Hollywood in India
The record demonstrates the continued popularity of major Hollywood franchises among Indian audiences.
Superhero films have historically performed strongly in India’s major cities, but Brand New Day has taken that popularity to a new level by becoming the country’s biggest Hollywood release.
Its performance also highlights the growing importance of India as a major international market for global studio releases.
Could the Film Cross ₹500 Crore?
With its strong momentum continuing, the film is now being watched for another major milestone: ₹500 crore net in India.
Recent reports indicate that the film is approaching the ₹500 crore mark, although the final figure will depend on its performance during the coming days.
The upcoming Independence Day period could provide another opportunity for the film to attract large audiences.
What the Record Means
The success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day represents a major achievement for both the Spider-Man franchise and Hollywood’s Indian box office.
By overtaking Avatar: The Way of Water, the film has established a new benchmark for Hollywood releases in India and demonstrated the continued strength of superhero cinema among Indian audiences.
